The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Petaluma. It’s always slightly more expensive than SF for some reason.

I’ll be damned. I’m 10 mins from San Rafael. We got a Z4 race car in Santa Rosa and a 135 that basically needs $1 in maintenance for every mile drive. Cool to know there’s other members so close! I wonders if I’ve ran into you at a cars and coffee.

This right here is the ticket. And O2 sensors are definitely something that you don't want to go off-brand on. You'll see plenty of Chinese options in the $50 range when you search for the Bosch part number, but you'll just end up with the same problems from a slow reacting sensor.

This is for newer e46's right? Pretty sure my 01 has a different part number and is only 60 bucks

Yep. I saw that the guy asking also had an '05 so I confirmed BP's part number with what I had on my purchase sheet.

Yeah. I also saw the older e46s have a way cheaper o2 sensor haha... why is that anyway?
The Bosch sensors are $127 each at FCP euro. At least then I can replace for free.

Why $1 per mile?

Why $1 per mile?

Because it’s done 3,000 miles since it’s purchase and cost $3,000 between warranty claims and maintenance. Granted it has been tracked but still

Well, you're local - we can do a drive cycle with me driving and I'll let you know what I think.

We have to discuss your lighting situation, by the way.

ha, true story. Might need you to take it for a spin one of these days, though now with the worst part of winter coming and you having the touring to also take care of, might need to wait til spring to figure out the lighting situation.

Sorry, guess I should have been clear. It’s the track car for us/him. Every bushing is poly, suspension and drivetrain fully rebuilt, and is officially too stiff for his girlfriend to want to ride in. Its new to the family and also one of the only E85 Z4’s with an MS43 for easy tuning. If wallet permits it’ll get an N54 this summer. It’s such a blast.

You lost me with the coding stuff. I think ms43 is for m54s?
